ABCD: Give and You Shall Receive Our church is a place to pray, to give thanks, to mourn and to celebrate. A place for us all to unite—in need and abundance—to have mercy, lift each other up and ease pain and suffering. A place people turn to in their time of need. We are all instruments of God’s mercy and peace. One church, one family uniting to help those in need. Thank you to all who have already generously responded to this year’s ABCD. Your support strengthens the ministries that serve our Archdiocese and allow the Church to form new disciples. As Scriptures remind us, Give and it shall be given to you. Your neighbor needs you. You are the answer to someone’s prayers, and together, we are changing lives. If you have yet to respond to this year’s ABCD, please join us by making a gift now. You can obtain a pledge envelope from the parish office or you can make a gift online at www.isupportabcd.org. Thank you for all that you do and the spirit in which you do it.
ABCD: Den y se les dará
Nuestra iglesia es un lugar para orar, para dar gracias, para lamentarnos y para celebrar. Un lugar para que todos nos unamos –en la necesidad y en la abundancia– para practicar la piedad, sostenernos los unos a los otros y aliviar el dolor y el sufrimiento. Un lugar al que la gente acude en sus momentos de necesidad. Todos somos instrumentos de la misericordia y la paz de Dios. Una iglesia, una familia que se une para ayudar a los necesita-dos. Gracias a todos los que ya han respondido generosamente al ABCD de este año. Su apoyo fortalece los ministerios que sirven a nuestra Arquidiócesis y permiten a la Iglesia el formar nuevos discípulos. Como las Escrituras nos recuerdan, "Den y se les dará". Su prójimo necesita de usted. Usted es la respuesta a las oraciones de alguien, y juntos estamos transformando vidas. Si todavía no ha dado su respuesta al ABCD de este año, por favor, únase a nosotros haciendo ahora una contribución. Puede obtener un sobre de compromiso en la oficina de la parroquia, o puede hacer un donativo en línea en www.isupportabcd.org. Gracias por todo lo que hace, y por el espíritu con que lo hace.

Dear Parishioners:
At Blessed Trinity Catholic School, we are lucky to learn, pray, and grow in a special environment. This would not be possible without the generous support of people like you, the members of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church. When you support our school, you invest in the future of all our students and the Catholic Church.
As we celebrate National Catholic Schools Week, we want to thank you for all you do to help our school. We are grateful for your prayers and contributions, and we appre-ciate the time and talent you so generously share through your volunteer efforts.
The National Catholic Schools Week theme is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” We consider Blessed Trinity Catholic Church an important part of our community, and we hope you will join us as we celebrate Catholic education week.
We will host an Open House to the community on Wednesday, February 1, 2017. Presentations begin at 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall following with a tour of the class-rooms and school grounds.
We hope to see you there!
Gratefully, The students, faculty, and staff of Blessed Trinity Catholic School
Blessed Trinity will have a visiting priest for a few months beginning on February 9th… My name is Fr. Martin Guyot. I am a member of the Emmanuel Community, the one who put together your Easter Mission last year. I was ordained a priest in June of 2014 for the diocese of Versailles, France. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters; my younger sister Charlotte took part in the mission in your parish last year. I began to hear God's special call for me at the age of 17 during World Youth Day in Rome when I was 17. I have a Master’s Degree in management from the French Business School HEC-Paris. Right after graduating in 2007, I entered the seminary and studied in Paris and in Brussels (Belgium). My first assignment as a priest was to get a Licentiate in Sacred Scripture in Rome at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. My last semester was spent in Jerusalem, at the Ecole Biblique et Archéologique Française. I look forward to coming to Blessed Trinity for one semester to get to know the Church in the U.S. so that I can bring new ideas back to my diocese on how to better evangelize. Fr. Martin is 34 years old and speaks French, German, English, Italian and is learning Spanish. We will wel-come him with open arms!
Santísima Trinidad tendrá un sacerdote de visita por unos meses a partir del 9 de Febrero... Mi nombre es Padre Martín Guyot. Soy miembro de la Comunidad Emmanuel, quien coordiné su misión de semana Santa el año pasado. Fui ordenado a sacerdote en Junio de 2014 para la diócesis de Versalles, Francia. Tengo 2 hermanos y 3 hermanas; mi hermana más joven Charlotte tomó parte en la misión en su parroquia el año pasado. Comencé a escuchar el llamado especial de Dios a la edad de 17 durante el día mundial de la juventud en Roma. Tengo la maestría en gerencia de la escuela de negocios Francesa HEC-París. Después de graduarme en 2007, entré en el seminario y estudié en París y en Bruselas (Bélgica). Mi primer destino como sacerdote fue obtener un Licenciado en La Sagrada Escritura en Roma del Pontificio Instituto Bíblico. Mi último semester lo pasé en Jerusalén en la École Bib-lique et Archéologique Française. Espero llegar a la parroquia de Blessed Trinity por un semestre para conocer la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos y para poder aportar nuevas ideas a mi diócesis sobre cómo evan-gelizar mejor.
El padre, Martin, tiene 34 años y habla Francés, Alemán, Inglés, Italiano y está aprendiendo Español. Le acogemos con los brazos abiertos!
